[QUOTE="hunternhunter, post: 1375061, member: 102268"] I clean after an extended range session; but I don't clean with the main intention of preserving the barrel. Instead, I am trying to maintain a constant level of bore cleanliness, hence a constant level of accuracy. Going 1000 rounds without a cleaning will not harm the bore under normal conditions -- non-corrosive primers, smokeless powder, and jacketed bullets don't really have much in them that will do permanent harm, and unless the bore gets wet nothing much negative happens -- but it will get slowly but steadily dirtier, and this will eventually begin to affect accuracy. Some rifles begin to show the effect after 10 rounds; some may take hundreds of rounds. [/QUOTE]
